private isn't the prettiest, and in fact this one in particular is a bit
of a mess. It's not clear if it's caller or callee owned. It's generally
not used, outside of the old usb gadget code, iomap O_DIRECT, and ocfs2.
With FMODE_BUF_RASYNC, the fs obviously can't set it if it uses
->private for buffered IO.

I'd hate to add a new field and increase the size of the kiocb... One
alternative is to do:
union {
void *private;
struct wait_page_queue *ki_waitq;
};
and still use IOCB_WAITQ to say that ->ki_waitq is valid.
There's also 4 bytes of padding in the kiocb struct. And some fields are
only used for O_DIRECT as well, eg ->ki_cookie which is just used for
polled O_DIRECT. So we could also do:
union {
unsigned int ki_cookie;
struct wait_page_queue *ki_waitq;
};
and still not grow the kiocb. How about we go with this approach, and
also add:
if (kiocb->ki_flags & IOCB_HIPRI)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
to kiocb_wait_page_queue_init() to make sure that this combination isn't
valid?
